Build a Post Hole Auger for Tractor Plans

These plans are for a post hole auger attachment for your tractor.

Assembled from junk parts,
this post-hole auger makes
easy work of a tiresome job.

Driven from the tractor
power takeoff through a V-belt,
this post-hole auger has
the advantage of an easily
controlled hand feed which
makes it possible to dig holesin
fence rows where roots,
stones and other obstructions
sometimes cause delay and
breakage.

The necessary angle
drive is made by adapting an old
Dodge differential, but any of
the older automobile
differentials having square
holes for the axles can be
used. Of course, complete dimensions
cannot be given in the detail drawing, nor can the arrangement
be followed closely
when mounting the auger on the
various makes of tractors. Hence
the details shown are
only suggestions on how to make
the assembly of the various parts.
